Description: | A cast copper double looped oval shaped buckle. The loops are undecorated, but the outer edge is obliquely angled. The loops expand slightly in width towards the apex. The reverse is undecorated, but has visible file marks. The strap bar is narrowed, and is semi-circular in section. The pin is an elongated triangle which is curled around the strap bar. In profile the buckle is a very wide 'V' shape. The buckle loops have traces of a dark green/grey patina, but is generally abraded. The buckle measures 21.7mm long and 20.58mm wide. It weighs 2.36g.
Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) date a similar shaped buckle (No. 380) to the late 13th to 14th century. Due to the size of the frame Egan and Pritchard (2002) comment that they were probably produced for a specialised function, but what this function is, is unknown. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1275
